I often hear New Atheist leaders
like Sam Harris argue that a society governed purely by science and has banned
religion would produce a better culture. Yet, every nation that has followed
this prescription has been a totalitarian disaster with a body count that is
beyond the grasp of the most horrific imagination.
I am currently reading a book by Theodore Dalrymple (himself
an atheist) wherein he quotes this from Harris’ book The End of Faith:
“The link between belief and
behaviour raises the stakes considerably. Some propositions are so dangerous
that it may be ethical to kill people for believing them. This may seem an
extraordinary claim, but it merely enunciates an ordinary fact about the world
we live in.”
I don’t believe he contemplated the irony behind that
statement, but the harsh reality is that this attitude held by so many ‘progressive
elites’ is what provides the fuel for the horrors of the Godless experiments.
